What is Road Force Balancing?

A regular tire balancer measures static and dynamic imbalances that cause a tire to vibrate or shimmy. While a regular tire balancer can correct weight distribution problems within the tire/wheel assembly, it isn't designed to locate other causes of vibration.

The Hunter Road Force Balancer simulates driving conditions, like the weight of the vehicle on the tire and wheel while in motion. The system detects weight imbalance along with other causes of vibration that a regular wheel and tire balancer misses.

We use the Hunter Road Force Balancer to identify the position and amount of imbalance in your car or light truck tire and wheel assemblies.
